Chile to Apply VAT on Online Imports up to $500 from 20 Major Foreign Platforms

  • Chile’s tax authority (SII) will apply VAT to remote imports of goods up to USD 500 purchased through 20 major foreign platforms, effective 25 October 2025.
  • Previously, only goods valued up to USD 41 were exempt from VAT and import duties.
  • Major platforms affected include AliExpress (78% market share), Amazon, eBay, Shopee, Shein, and Temu.
  • Foreign platforms must register under a simplified tax regime and are responsible for collecting and paying VAT.
  • New procedures and regulations have been established for VAT declaration, payment, and exemption, with coordination among customs, postal services, and e-commerce stakeholders.
